Consumer Description

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE STEERING GOT VERY HEAVY, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STARTED THAT HILL START ASSIST WAS DEACTIVATED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I PULLED OVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I THINK IT MAY BE AN ABS SENSOR THAT CAME LOOSE BEHIND A WHEEL.
